Singer Valve, a leading manufacturer of control valves, based out of British Columbia, Canada, has added three new Deluge Valves to round off their line of fire valves. The three new valves include Electronic Operated Deluge Valve, Pneumatic Operated Remote Control Deluge Valve and the Electric Pneumatic Operated Deluge Valve.
These UL approved valves are used in high hazard areas where high velocity suppression is necessary to prevent the spread of fire; such as power plants, aircraft hangers and chemical storage or processing facilities. Deluge systems are connected to a water supply through a valve that is opened by the operation of a smoke or heat detection system. When the system is activated water discharges through all of the sprinkler heads in the system. Pneumatic Deluge Valves are best for potentially explosive environments.
